Just an FYI, i emailed Ryan K. from Lionel regarding adding the swinging bell feature for the PRR L1 as well as Strasburg RR #89. Here is his reply:

"Mark,

Neither locomotives has room for the swinging bell. Also if memory serves correctly the L1 air ringer swung only the clapper and not the bell itself so I believe it would not have been correct even if it had fit.

We are still using the friction bearing style trucks on Standard O stock. While I realize the details are less accurate, these simplified trucks are a large part of keeping the costs lower on this line of cars.

Thank you,

Ryan

Oh well. At least the MSRP for the ex MTH PRR L1 is cheaper than the intro PS2 L1 which was around $1100.00 according to the Brentwood Antiques book.
